Terry Solomon · Answer 1

So the problem is about pressureP = F / awhere P is the pressureF is the force applieda is the area

a.) F1 / a1 = F2 / a2F1 / 4 m^2 = 17 N / 0.033 m^2F1 = (4 m^2) 17 N / 0.033 m^2F1 = 2060.6 N

b.) firts solve the volume of the small pistonV = AhV = 0.300 m (0.033 m^2) V = 0.0099 m^3so the Volume are equal in both

0.0099 = 4hh = 0.002475 m

c. w = Fdwork small psiton = 17N (0.3m) = 5.1 jwork big piston = 2060.6N (0.002475m) = 5.1 j
